School then Violin Lesson

Today is Friday, the most relaxing day in school out of the 5 day study week. I can hardly remember what happened at school, so I shall just go on to rattle about what happened after school.

School ended at 1.30pm. I stayed back in class to complete my Accident & Emergency math homework. Everyone who knows my knows lazy character will know that I usually either finish my work in school or copy down the questions on a peice of paper. The hidden motive is obvious: I don't want to carry the especially heavy books home. So troublesome and the questions don't even make up a hundreth of the book. Not worth the effort.

At around 2pm, I went down to the canteen to get a drink and wait for my mother to pick me up for violin lesson. My violin teacher lives at Bedok. The aural + piano accompanist lives at Kambangan (also in the east. Does anyone know who is yao xiao yun?). But sometimes, I have to go down to NAFA instead. After picking me up, we go to MGS to wait for my sister. Then we reach our violin teacher's house about 40mins later.

My scales (in general, which includes all 153 types) were pretty good. But somehow, my 3-octave ones were better than the 2-octave ones which are supposed to be easier. Got to work harder on those. Czardas just needed to be a little more polished at the ending. Legende was good because my intonation at the double stops improved greatly. Gavotte en Rondeau was slightly rushed and not expressive enough. But notes wise, it was alright. Sight reading was ok, but Ms Kwok said it could be better. But overall, she thinks I /should/ be fine and well prepared for the exam already. I think I do trust that. She says that every exam and it turned out good. I thought I would fail grade 7 but instead, I think it went well past my expectations. I'm aiming for distinction this time. 2 marks away the last time, i nearly banged my head against the wall. And I also want to beat Jean. She's beaten me for 3 consectutive years, but the gap has been narrowing steadily.

After violin lesson, we dropped Jean off at school. She has to perform at some LoveMG concert. Playing drums. I think their band is some guest artist or what at the primary school side. Then they have to play again tomorrow, tomorrow's tomorrow, and sometime again next week i think. What a hectic life. It's for ex-MG people. I wonder if Ms Tan is going back.

My mother and I met up with my father at Junction 8. He takes the bus and mrt to work everyday (monday-friday). My mom gets the car unless he has meeings somewhere else. Someday, I want to be an engineer and work in Singtel too. We went for dinner at junction 8. The thing I ate had so many onions. 2 large spoonfuls. I passed them over to my parents. I don't like the taste of onions, garlic, mushrooms, ginger, clam, squid, oyster etc. Anything rubbery or disgusting.

My father dropped my mom and I home and he went to church for an elders meeting. They usually meet till 11+. But thankfully, not regularly. So now my house has half the population gone. It is peaceful and quiet except for my mom's occasional singing. And I get to use the computer without any objections.
